Just wanted to share a little gem I found about recently that allows you to partition your hard drive without destroying any existing data on it.

 

Whenever you buy a new computer the OS automatically comes installed on your HDD, and you don't get the option to partition it during setup, obviously because computer

 

manufacturer's know most people have no clue what partitioning, and formatting does, or means. GParted is a third party software that allows you to partition your existing HDD,

 

without destroying your data, which as a technician can save you a boat load of wasted time, or if you're just interested in partitioning your HDD for whatever reason (DualBoot etc,)

 

then you should definitely check it out. To use it you need to burn it to a CD, or put it on a Thumbdrive, and boot to it.

 

If you need a program that can burn it to a CD then I definitely recommend trying out ImgBurn.

 

You can download GParted here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/

 

, and you can download ImgBurn here http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html

 

Happy Partitioning!~
